and taxes are the only certainties in life, and it seems there is no
limit to when or how either can occur. As the taxation of the masses has
already happened for thousands of years, it is safe to presume that
taxation will continue forever. Yet, there are tons of taxes that are
stranger, and shorter lived, than others.From nose ring taxes in
Arkansas, to wig powder taxes in England, there were plenty of crazy
taxes to choose from. The following are just a few of the most
interesting taxes in the United States, and abroad.
